~ The alarming disease of this
country is nervous debility and
prostration. 1t goes under
many names but it is cssen-
tally the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu-
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average Of life
in the United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are so
frequent rs scarcely TO excits
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed without APP
parentrcason, or under so-called
"deprc,~.on Of spirits,' are
really prompted by nervous
prostraUon, which is a fruitful
source Of insanity and crime
with all their erisf aad horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life Of
the ua. on. They a-sail the
springs Of its power and pros
perity. They wreck 'nauhood's
strength and wom;N's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are they! The
answer is easy and terribly
plain; Our vicious personal
habits; cur carc.-~, and lawless
eating and diiuA.D@; The in.
tense mcn,aland pAn~icalstrain
arising from ommalrace after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles Of pow.
erty; the use Of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn LIES candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards,
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
lish, Nervous Dyspeps'a, as it
is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs of Digestion, Assim-
ilation ard Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being impeded or des-
troyed, the whole body, nerves
included, IS hterdiiy Stdrred;
even when there is no enact
alton to tel the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out its warnings:-headache
in the morning; a persistent
dull lcaviness or aching Mt the
base of th4 brain; wakefulness;
loss ofappc,iteand diseustwith
food: los Of mental energy and
interest in ordinary duties and
business; rcstlessness and anx-
iety without any as,isnable
reason; quotations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness;
palpitation of the heart; sal
iowness Of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure Of
strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total aban>
donment Of the habits and Gus
toms which cause the disease
in each individual case, and the
use of Shaker Ertroct If Roots
(Seigcls Syrup to cure the
mischief already done. This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community Of Mt. Leb-
anon, n. Y, is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys-
pepsia To do this it acts
directly and gently but power
fully upon the di.ordered stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and vigor, pro-
noting the secretion Of bile, ex-
pelling waste matters from the
system, and purifying the blood
Upon the nervous system
Shaker Ertroct(Seigel'sSy
acts as q safe and wholesome
anodyne without the slightest
narcotic effect, and then leaves
the nerves to REGAIN their nat
ural tone and strength through
its wonderful influence upon
the function of nutrition.
1t is safe to say more nerv-
GUS dyspcptics have been re-
stored by it from the depths
of misery to a fresh enjoyment
of life and labor than by any
or all other forms of treatment
y. .bined.
